All you have to do is close your eyes and pick out two things in different solid colors from your closet and voila…a whole new look! Also, when in doubt, looking at a color wheel and going for colors across from each other also works.
Azealia Banks
Her songs from her EP 1991 are so addicting. You are looking at a new hybrid of pop/hip-hop.

Gomez (left) shows her riskier side in the new movie Spring Breakers. But don’t judge her by this film alone; this not so Disney girl is here to stay.

It’s that time of the year again and what better way to kick off the season than to have an easy gift guide that will have everyone saying, “Wow, she/he really surprised me with that (fill in fun gift here)?!
This is not just any old guide though. I’ve actually been told that I give the best gifts. I think part of it has to do with that fact that I love shopping vicariously through other people but may I add that being a great listener as well as knowing where to source gifts that have a touch of personality really helps too!
These guides are not by “Brother”, “Girlfriend”, “Mom”, etc. I did do them by personality but not just any run-of-the-mill type. Chances are if you read this site often, you actually know at least one of these types very well. Tonight features our first personality type, “The Label Whore.”
Yup, no explanation necessary, although I will proceed. She/he only wears the latest and greatest. Yes, even the nail polish is Chanel. Despite what people may think, this is actually a tough type to buy for. Just when you think you have them down, they are all sick of Balenciaga and onto Proenza……
